Not that surprised by Gallery's pricing, it's been in development since the DK1 kickstarter days, those guys need to recoup. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a season pass down the line.

jesus man. so basically you shouldn't be buying one of these things without a couple hundred additional dollars to spend on software too. still seems slightly more reasonable than the $40 for that flight control game.

Someone order these guys some Taco Bell delivery.
Archive break.
I think the market will sort that out pretty soon. Everyone seems to be overpricing their shit right now because it's a new technology with a small install base. But I expect software to go down in price pretty soon because there can't be much demand for these games at these prices.

You gotta kinda think about it like this: The Vive is only going to sell so many units at first and studios are taking the risk to only focus on developing for VR. So they'll charge the relatively few people who buy it more than you'd expect to stay afloat.
That's how I see it.

I mean yeah. There is a game where you explore in a ball like ship (can't remember the name). Thing is, turning in those games can still cause sickness. Don't buy into the idea that cockput = no sickness for everyone.
I think most would like to play as a human though.
I am actually curious if simulating a helmet can help like cockpits do. So like, your vision would be obscured the same way Master Chiefs helmet does.
Honestly, If we can stimulate the vestibular system synthetically via electrical impulse we wouldn't get sick from turning either. Basically a headset could have something that triggers impulses behind the ear to trick your systems into "thinking" you are turning.

Hover Junkers now.
Some people used a small talk in a break between showing the games to create a DoA discussion. Nothing that GB said was that tragic in fact.
And they enjoyed most of the games they showed.
But there are fights to be fought and salt to be consumated, so I guess any small comment is important.

Wait, they've never seen Hover Junkers? I thought you couldn't avoid this game if you tried.

That pistol reload mechanic is awesome.

One of my complaints with Hover Junkers is that the art style is ugly. It would be awesome if it looked like Borderlands.

Never change, Jeff.
Games need to let people kill themselves if they want to!
What makes it a better experience than Oculus?

I think I get Gizmodo and Verge's issues with Vive. I still want one though. Maybe 2.0 version.

Early adopters are price insensitive. It's part of what makes them early adopters.
Now it is.

I'm just talking about VR in general. Though the front camera does sound like a god send for the galaxy map.

Basically. Which is why it's a good idea to wait for gen 2 of these devices: apart from possibly better hardware at cheaper prices, you will have a selection of gen 1 content at more reduced prices, and they will surely enter in sales, etc. It's expensive to build a solid software content library without steam summer or christmas sales.

This seemed cool until Jeff got into the multiplayer. :/

He needs to set up cover! This game is all about putting shit on your junker to hide behind.
Yeah, this multiplayer seems kinda bad.

Haha that kill was great
Because he went in totally unprepared. He didn't build any defense (put shit on his ship to cover) and he was straight standing up and mindless shooting.
